What he was thinking: "Geezus! There are TIE fighters EVERYWHERE!!! I just soiled my flight suit!! And there's DARTH VADER!!! I have to get out of here...I know I'll tell them I've been hit and that I can't stay...ooohhh...I want my mommy...."

At least Biggs died doing what he was supposed to, protecting his wingman.

The reason Wedge lived and Biggs died is simple. Wedge was a coward who deserved to die, and Biggs was fated to survive that battle. However, after the "Piggy" crack, the will of the Force felt that Biggs needed to die a horrible death, and that Wedge would live to maintain the Balance of the Force.

The script to ANH has Wedge's X-wing taking a direct hit from Vader, but Luke's never directly hit. I guess the idea is to show that Wedge is really messed up and simply cannot continue straight without maybe flying into Luke or Biggs.

Arg!

Stop making fun of Wedge! The reason he left is because he obviously knew that if he stayed he could endanger the mission further. The only reason that Luke lived is because he had Artoo and the Force. Biggs died because he was too stupid to eject or pull up, he had enough time to. So, it wasn't that he was afraid or anything, he felt that he had to because he didn't want to mess up the mission anymore than it already was. I would like a carded Wedge, I mean we got a carded Porkins and Biggs, now we need Wedge, Red Leader, and Gold Squadron. Wedge is better than Luke and Biggs......

A carded Wedge would be cool! I, for one, never took his pulling out of the Death Star Trench as cowardice just a malfunction that could have killed him or Luke. Luke was smart enough to let him get out of harm's way to prevent unecessary loss of life. Either that or he hoped the TIE Fighters would follow him.

I would also like to see a carded Zev (Rogue Two), someone needs to rescue those dumb Rebels who stay out after dark.

If you don't recall who Zev was then:

Lewis

Yeah, and having a Zev figure will open the door for Edina and Patsy figures, which could then lead to Bubbles, Gran, and Saffron figures. (I'll be slightly impressed if anybody gets THAT cross-reference)
